A Reading From The Letter Of St. Paul To The Colossians

You have been buried with Chirst, when you were baptised; and by baptism, too, you have been raised up with Him through your belief in the power of God who raised him from the dead.  You were dead, because you were sinners and had not been circumcised: He has brought you to life with him, He has forgiven us all our sins.  He has overridden the Law, and cancelled every record of the dept that we had to pay; he has done away with it by nailing it to the cross.

The Word Of The Lord.

A Reading From The Book Of Genesis

The Lord said, " How great an outcry there is against Sodom and Gomorrah!  How grievous is their sin!  I propose to go down and see whether or not they have done all that is alleged in the outcry against them that has come up to me, I am determined to know."  The men left there and went to Sodom while Abraham remained standing before the Lord.  Approaching him he said, "Are you really going to destroy the just man with the sinner?  Perhaps there are fifty just men in the town.  Will you really overwhelm them, will you not spare the place for the fifty just men in it?  Do not think of doing such a thing: to kill the just man with the sinner, treating just and sinner alike!  Do not think of it!  Will the judge of the whole earth not administer justice?"  The Lord replied, "If at Sodom I find fifty just men in the town, I will spare the whole place because of them."  Abraham replied, "I am bold indeed to speak like this to my Lord, I who am dust and ashes.  But perhaps the fifty just men lack five: will you destroy the whole city for five?" "No," he replied, " I will not destroy it if I find forty-five just men there,"  Again Abraham said to Him "Perhaps there will only be forty there?" "I will not do it," He replied, "for the sake of the forty."  Abraham said, "I trust my Lord will not be angry, but give me leave to speak: Perhaps there will only be thirty there?" "I will not do it," He replied, "if I find thirty there." He said, "I am bold indeed to speak like this, but perhaps there will only be twenty there." "I will not destroy it," He replied, "for the sake of twenty? He said, "I trust my Lord will not be angry if I speak once more: perhaps there will only be ten?" "I will not destroy it," He replied, "for the sake of the ten."

The word of the Lord. 

If there are a few just people in the world today, 2013, we may all be spared if the Lord comes.  

I want to be one of the JUST! Do you?...Think about it =)

Gospel Reading

When I was in Church this morning, I just felt like I had a"light bulb" moment with this particular reading, especially the last few sentences.  For that reason, I thought I would add it to may blog, so it is always there for me to refer back to if I feel I am ever wondering through live doing the wrong thing and not living for Jesus.

A Reading From The Holy Gospel According To Luke

One day when Jesus was praying alone in the presence of his disciples he put this question to them, 'Who do the crowds say I am?' And they answered, 'John the Baptist; others Elijah; and others say one of the ancient prophets come back to life.' But you,' he said, 'who do you say I am?  It was Peter who spoke up. 'The Christ of God,' he said.  But he gave them strict orders not to tell anyone anything about this.  'The Son of Man,' he said, 'is destined to suffer grievously, to be rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes and to be put to death, and to be raised up on the third day.' Then to all he said, 'If anyone wants to be a follower of mine, let him renounce himself and take up his cross every day and follow me.  For anyone who wants to save his life will lose it; but anyone who loses his life for my sake, that man will save it.' 

A Few Points To Ponder

• You must constantly put God first.  No matter what you are doing, including walking down the road.

• Think about what you are doing.  Is it making God happy?

• Do you only think about yourself.  Is it only personal gain?

• How far can your mind take you?  God can take you that far!
